Equipped with the correct lifestyle

The years when we are Remnants are few, but the reason why they are important is because if we make bad habits while we are Remnants, our lives may crumble later on when we face important turning points. Those bad habits will stay with us for our entire lives. Reasonable attitudes exert great influence over our habits and our nature. Our small efforts right now connect to the answers we will receive our whole lives.
1. Establishing reasonable attitudes connect to the answers we will receive for the rest of our lives
Augustine lived a life of debauchery until he read a little bit of the Word and his life began to change. Kim, Ik-doo wandered around like a hoodlum until he listened to the Word of God carefully. From that point on he began to change and he became a pastor. Once, there were two prisoners in jail. One prisoner spent his time complaining and resentful. The other prisoner reflected on his past and prepared for the future. The prisoner who thought in a correct way and prepared for the future carried out his plan for his future.
2. We must establish a couple of reasonable attitudes
Remnants must prepare spiritual reasonable attitudes because they are spiritual soldiers. Satan constantly lurks around the Remnants like a roaring lion (1 Peter 5:7-8). That is why having a reasonable attitude regarding prayer is so important. Having proper thoughts is important to have before you pray, because our thoughts are in essence our prayers. Making correct judgments is the prayer of prayers. Remnants must establish reasonable attitudes in their lives because they are spiritual athletes. They will have great success if they have reasonable attitudes regarding studies, reading and specialty. Remnants must prepare the reasonable attitude of leaders because they are spiritual farmers. It''s a good idea to read books about leaders because you will become leaders in the future.
3. Practicing reasonable attitudes will be fulfilled as time passes
You must have a prayer schedule, even if things don''t go perfectly right now. You''ll be able to follow a time schedule later on if you continue to keep at it now. You will have success later if you have a devotion schedule now regarding how to evangelize and how to live your life. The world is stuck in a culture of drinking, games and lust right now. That is why the Remnants must have a Gospel-centered perspective regarding these things. They will have no choice but to fall into the culture of the world if they don''t have reasonable attitudes worthy of Remnants. The Remnants must prepare the blessed reasonable attitudes of Remnants.
